Lee County rules

• Lee County’s facilities don’t take garbage or debris from outside the county.
• Everything is weighed in at the scale house and charged by weight: $72.10 a ton for household trash, $15 at least. If you unload by hand, be through the gate 30 minutes before closing; staying in the unloading area past closing costs $10 for every 5 minutes. Bring exact change, or pay by card or mobile pay.Lee County’s rates page still lists the fiscal 2025-26 gate fee of $69.83 a ton for household trash; its fiscal 2027 rate sheet says $72.10.
• Couches, mattresses, hot tubs, fence sections, and large appliances can go to the curb next to your regular garbage; if an item won’t fit in the truck, the hauler sends another within three business days. Remove or tape shut the doors of refrigerators, freezers, washers, and dryers first.
• Household chemicals never go in a dumpster, at the curb, or in the garbage; bring them to Topaz Court or a collection event, free for residents. Small appliances, keyboards and mice, empty paint cans, dried paint, and tires can go out with the garbage.
